fic-wrangling and vid-wrangling and other random chatter
siiiigh, I am so not on schedule with my help_haiti fics, which are supposed to be done by the 14th, I think. But! I did write 2000 words today, which is more words than 0 words (the wordcount for the last several days). So perhaps I am getting over this round of writer's blaaaah. I'm writing three fics for my three bidders, in three different fandoms (well, one's a crossover, but three fandoms altogether) and for some reason decided to write the SGA one first - I guess because I thought it'd be harder? I don't know. Anyway, so, I've now got about 4000 words of this SGA story, and it's just getting wackier by the second, and also longer, in that kind of out of control way that fic (and especially SGA fic) sometimes does. Ah well. I don't know what my point is, except, I guess I wrote something today? And maybe: I hope I'm able to finish these stories soon! I don't want to leave my generous buyers hanging.
Another thing of note for me today is that I am REALLY REALLY EXCITED about VividCon all of a sudden, probably because I am now planning this Epic Fannish Roadtrip to get there. It's at the point now where I'm like, okay, I think I need a bigger car! It's gonna be me and
eruthros and
livrelibre, I think, plus possibly
isagel and
toft, and then I thought, hmmm, if driving from here to Chicago, ought we not to stop and pick up
chagrined on our way? (not that I've actually asked
chagrined about this, but it does make sense). Which makes six people, which is too many for my usual type of car rental (pretty little Priuses) unless we put
toft in the hatchspace or something.
Hatchspace is also the title of my most recent screenplay, coming to you soon as a SyFy Original Feature Film. Starring David Hewlett.
ANYWAY, very excited about VVC, and hoping to gosh that I can get some actual vids made for it! I have a lot of great vids that I want to make right now, but I think I've figured out which two I'm going to actually do for VVC. Weirdly, the other night I was listening to my "Vid Songs" playlist that I keep in itunes - you know the one, the place you keep all those songs where you're like "this is the Scully vid I am going to make someday," and "this song is so obviously about Gus and Shawn but it's not really very viddable!" and anyway, I was listening to that playlist and I was near-overcome with the urge to make these two related Doctor Who vids that I have had in my brain for ages now. They would be such great vids. You would probably cry. But I do not have the wherewithal right now to go through all of Old Who to make these vids, so your tear ducts are for the moment spared.
ANOTHER THING I AM POSTING ABOUT SINCE I'M HERE: Farscape. Oh man.
eruthros and I are doing a huge Farscape rewatch, since I bought the dvds when they were on sale in December. I haven't seen it in aaaaages! I forgot how much I love this show.
I actually am beginning to really believe that Farscape is the best scifi series ever produced, y/n? It's just so . . . there's so much putting of things into John's body, seriously every episode for the first seven episodes there is something significant and alien being put in John's body in order to make him less human in some way, and lo it is awesome. Also there's lots of sweating and vomiting and crying and just . . . bodies! Farscape is a scifi show that has bodies in it, and even cooler, that has different kinds of bodies in it, and explores the ways in which alien bodies might be, like, alien. That is my favourite thing about it. Plus the writing is so good that I become deeply emotionally involved with muppet characters. And the ladies kick ass in a variety of ways. And Ben Browder is superhot in Peacekeeper drag. Also when he cries. And Claudia Black manages to be absolutely SMOKING hot when she's, like, sweaty and ponytailed and wearing full shapeless body-armour. It's funny, isn't it, how she's hotter on Farscape than on SG-1, even though on SG-1 she was constantly wearing a leather bustier. Oh my god AERYN. I would marry her if she didn't scare me a little too much.
END OF RAMBLE.
